It traces it's roots back 400 years to the Island of Guernsey where many isolated communities had no choice but to be self-sufficient. Fisherman's wives (or prospective ones) would knit the Guernsey's to protect their partners from the harsh conditions they were subjected to.

I don't know if the movie Cracks, directed by Jordan Scott (daughter of director Ridley Scott) ever came to our cinemas, but if it did, I missed it! I am immediately going to order a dvd copy because I know just by looking at these exquisite images, that this is my kind of movie. I can already tell that it will be a feast of magnificent cinematography, art direction and oh so beautiful styling, not to mention no doubt brilliant acting by the likes of Eva Green and gorgeous Maria Valverde.
